After a shock defeat to the Magpies the Argentine coach said there was no justification for his team's performance
Mauricio Pochettino says there’s an easy explanation as to why his Tottenham team couldn’t beat Newcastle at home: they didn’t play well.
The Argentine manager watched on as Spurs dominated the game against the Magpies, but couldn’t find the net, losing to Joelinton’s first half goal, the visitors' first Premier League win this year.
He lamented the concession of a goal he labelled “cheap”, but credited Steve Bruce’s men with an organised defense his charges couldn’t penetrate.
